"Frédéric Paul, director of the Domaine de Kerguéhennec, invited me to make an outdoor work, and I came up with two proposals, one of which was a continuation of the house project, titled Second House. The idea was to turn the house back to ‘normal’. The notion of ‘inside out’ has been a continuous element in my work. I also have a slight obsession with windows – what’s happing outside and what’s going on inside.

It takes with it a few items that signify something that has happened in the past, like its own history (from the first house) and then the fact that the meteorite suspended inside the house is a stranger from faraway, originating from the creation of our galaxy, and upon it is the next step of the house project: namely, a maquette of the third house.”
